WE have someone solid at 3rd. ( Wigginton ) He will put up good numbers. Not great, but better than we have had since Morgan in 2005.

There are two ways to fix the line-up given Wiggington's versatility. We can get a third baseman and move Wiggington to second or we can get a second baseman. Wiggington can work in either place imo.

Wigginton would be a liability at 2nd, he is average at 3rd. You need mobility at 2nd that you dont need at 3rd. Burke will get his shot. We have to hope Vega is right.

Hope is not a strategy. Burke is not a keeper.
If we could get Lowell I would be happy to have Wiggington at second.
You are right the most likely thing to happen would be to find a real 2nd baseman.

It would be a joke but not as bad a joke as the other current options.
I am not talking about long term options just plugging the hole for next year.

Again, Wigginton is a joke at 2nd, he can't play the position. Would you put Lamb at 2nd?  ??/ |

Wiggington is better than Lamb.... but I agree with you.

I will admit that I have never seen Wiggington play 2nd but he has played it in the past on several other teams and produced stats that are definitely below average but his bat at second would accomodate the lack of defense perhaps. Again never saw him play the position but his offense might make him a poor man's version of Kent.
